EX-CONFEDERATES AT WAR.
Gen. Early says Gen. ROsser is n EaIs
sifier and n COnsumsmnate Asa.
HE ALSO COMPARES HIM TO JUDAS IscARIoT AND sAYD
HE SHOULD HANG HIMSELF.

Gen. Jubal A. Early publishes long letter in o
Richmond paper In reply 10 the statement OF Gen.
Thomas L. RoSser, recently made to a reporter OF
Minneapolis in relation 10 Earlys burning OF the
town OF Chambersburg, Pa, In July, 1854. Gen.
Early says: R0sSer has heretofore shown his utter
disregard for the truth in some publications he has
made In regard to some OF the operations OF the
Army OF Northern Virginia, and especially those or
my command, in the Valley, In 1854. and nave
fully demonstrated the falsity OF many OF his state
ments. Having previously figured extensively as
a falsiner OF history, he has recently appeared In
another role-that OF a consummate ass, and it
must be confessed that he has proved himself an
adept In that character To show what RosSer
thought OF him In January, 1865, Gen. Early gives
an extract from one OF Rosser's letters, In which
he calls him his noble friend" Continuing, Early
says .'Rosser now thinks his noble friend ought
to have been hung for the burning OF Chambers
burg. Really what Rosser thinks or says In regard
TO myself disturbs me very itIle What actually
does distress me is 10 see one VINO occupied The
position OF a general officer In the Confederate
residence or several years in the Northwest
and the accumulation or considerable prop
erty there by means best known TO himself, have
had the effect OF convincing him that the South
was all wrong In the struggle she made for inde-
pepdence and self-government, and that II was
fortunate that his mighty Efforts for four years In
her cause failed or success. To those true and
faithful Confederates who. like myself feel morti-
fed when one OF cur former comrades becomes q
renegade TO the cause We fought for, have this
consolation To offer: We do not stand alone In
having apOSldttS llDiu ouf Tdnks. We itaru tuab
even one OF the brightest OF the afchangels--the
Son OF the Morning, who stood around the throne
OF the Almighty-rebelied against his Creator and
carried on a number OF the angels into the rebel
lion, and one OF the chosen apostles OF the saviour
OF mankind betrayed his Master with kiss for
thirty pieces OF silver. This much however, Is 20
be said In behalf OF Judas Iscarfot: When he be-
came aware or the eject or his treachery he had
the grace TO cast from him the thirty pieces OF
silver the price OF his rreacbery. and 60 and hang
himself. II some OF our renegadeS would 60 and
do likewise we might regard the act as some
atonement Tor their apOstasy, and the most credi.
